Hamburger SV

Hamburger SV will be without Albert Grønbæk for the visit of VfB Stuttgart; a thigh injury already kept him out of the win at Hoffenheim after he had started four of the previous five matches. Patson Daka and Zakaria El Ouahdi are doubtful too, with a thigh problem and an illness respectively, and both were also missing at Hoffenheim.

Sebastiaan Bornauw is expected to continue at centre-back, with Jordan Torunarigha having missed the Hoffenheim game after four starts in the last five matches. Nicolás Capaldo and Warmed Omari have shared right-back duties. Further forward, the choice between Kofi Jeremy Amoako and Miro Muheim remains open; Muheim has scored and set up a goal in 49 minutes across the last five matches.

VfB Stuttgart

Dennis Seimen is expected to start in goal ahead of Fabian Bredlow, extending a switch between the two that has run through Stuttgart's last five matches. Bredlow has started four of them and Seimen only one, but Seimen is expected to get the place here.

Atakan Karazor and Jamie Leweling are expected to return to the starting eleven after being used from the bench against Slovan Bratislava, while Ramon Hendriks comes in for Maximilian Mittelstädt, who did not feature there. The back three remains unsettled, with Leonidas Stergiou competing with Jeff Chabot and Finn Jeltsch with Leo Sauer.

Further forward, Ermedin Demirović and Dženan Pejčinović are the two candidates to lead the line.
